How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when habits interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship problems, and impulse-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carol will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will test methods and adjust based on what is helpful in day-to-day life.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is possible. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, return to skills between sessions, and try short check-ins when needed. Online sessions can reduce travel time and help maintain momentum between meetings, while still focusing on changing thoughts and habits that matter most.
